iPodder (now called Juice)
This is a cross platform podcast download application
http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/
Why should I squeeze Juice?
The reason I use it is because it can be scheduled. Podcasts are relatively large files and so if your computer is going to trying to download podcasts whilst you are trying to work it will slow your Internet connection down. So I have set Juice to download al my latest podcasts in the middle of the night when I am asleep and so not using my computer! Juice can also import your podcasts into specific playlists within iTunes whilst I am asleep so when I sync up my iPod it brings in the latest podcasts as well.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
